You don't want to miss this! Our podcast host Joanne Augustin is being interviewed by the incomparable Cameia Williams about her self-employment journey.

A note from our podcast host, Joanne Augustin:

"June 2021 marked 3 years since I've been self-employed and what a ride it has been. I'm spilling all the 🫖 on this week's episode. I'm sharing everything I've learned—strategies, mistakes, setbacks—all of it!

Although I've been self-employed since June 2018, I only just recently became a founder of a boutique digital marketing agency, , (October 2020). I went from being a solopreneur (one-person business) only offering my specific expertise to a full-scale, end-to-end digital marketing agency with 3 contractors (and we just hired our first paid summer intern), who also happen to be black women. There's so much story to tell and I cannot wait to see what Cameia asks me!"
